Help us transform our hospital’s front entrance to stop our patients feeling afraid
Last updated nearly three decades ago, our current main entrance is cramped, dull and unwelcoming and doesn’t reflect the world-class care that takes place beyond it. Our families tell us it’s stressful to navigate and doesn’t put them or their children at ease.
Our It Starts Here Appeal will change this. But we need your help to raise the £3m needed for the transformation.
Thanks to initial gifts and pledges received from philanthropic individuals and organisations, we've launched the appeal with £1.4m already committed meaning there's just £1.6m left to raise to make it a reality.

54%* of children are afraid of going to hospital. We’re working with our patients and families to create a bright, spacious and child-friendly entrance which helps reduce fear and anxiety ahead of appointments.
Our hospital should feel magical and no child should feel intimidated about walking through the front door.
Help us turn our hospital into a place patients want to visit instead of feeling afraid. The transformation of Birmingham Children’s Hospital starts here, with you. *Source: Starlight reducing trauma for children in healthcare
